WoW Murloc Pet secret code from Blizzcon

It seems the love for the murlocs, especially the infant ones, is expanding among the players of World of Warcraft. In fact, i really am wondering if, somehow, this phenomenon isn't spreading across the "uninitiates" too. It all started with someone noticing the gurgling warcray let forth by any murloc attacking a target; then people began to talk about this, making fun of the standard situation: a player walks close to a murloc base (murlocs have villages, i know), tries to pull one of them, ends up with 10 crying, gurgling, running to fight the poor player => player dead. Rinse and repeat, until insanity. The human nature can turn the unpleasant to being harmless by making it the subject of a joke, i think this may be a factor that contributed to the increasig simpathy for the murlocs of any kind (and the baby murloc in patricular, since the babies are always cuter, see the kittens, puppies and human babies too). At some point, even the official Blizzard website had a mouse-over sound making section which - surprise - let you hear the famous murloc battle cry : "Grahralahgrahrahrahrararaw".As the new tendencies must be exploited, Blizzcon, the international convention for showcasting the upcoming Blizzard titles, offered the opportunity to raise the Wow's murloc population, delighting the attendees by a bag of goodies which contained, among others, a special code for obtaining a in-game murloc baby. Entering the code by talking to a npc is the only way to aquire such a pet. If you are the lucky owner of such a code, you can either sell it by auctioning it and make a small fortune or you can talk to ( Alliance side :) the dwarf Ransin Donner in Forlorn Cavern in Ironforge standing there with a little murloc named Murky (blue) or the other dwarf, Garel Redrock, for Gurky (pink) ( Horde side: )Zas'Tysh near a small pond in the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar for Murky (the blue murloc baby) or Tharl Stonebleeder in the same location, for Gurky (the pink murloc baby).

The baby murlocs don't have any usage except their presence being a symbol of your belonging to the few special ones (hehe) and being cute and all, gurgling in a smotther and childish way; and oh, they burst into dance sometimes, cane and tophat included.

The murloc babies popularity increases as the time passes, i've seen t-shirts and towels for sale with baby murloc prints, i have recently admired some pictures of a clay murloc baby, created for a child's great joy and not for sale. People express their creativity and start turning the virtual cute, little pets into real copies that can be hugged and loved. I haven't seen yet a plush toy representing a baby murloc, but it wouldn't be a failure to start a business in selling these things, now would it?

I cannot believe the price these things are going for on ebay. Seriously people, scoot away from the keyboards, go outside, and smell the beautiful fresh air for a change! I'll hold the murloc code. Go on, I'll be right here... with the murloc code...

if you went to blizzcom then on some of the hand outs they gave you a 25 digit code...similar to your account activation code but a new personal code for the murloc.. you then have to go to the website and enter your new 25 code and will be given a second code to enter in with your region and your realm.. they then..will give you a password that is only for 1 use..its not a general password where everyone has the same one. its specifically generated after giving the info... you would have a better chance guessing someones account authorization code than you would getting a murloc code.

*caugh* ppl want one cos their cool. telling ppl to get away from the keyboard wont help. Atleast they use it for summit other that flaming anobamously on forums. hmmm perhaps hes compensating for summit are u and ugly shrimp man ??? :-P

i just found out about the whole murlock things cause i stumbled upon the dude asking for the code in wow. I was curious so looked around for this code. Its a one time use thing. Even if someone gave u the code chances are good it'd be useless..unless said person didn't use it...or they're just pulling ur chain. Yeah the murlock thingies are cool but no need to get soo defensive or aggressive about it people. I'm going to take the advice and go get some fresh air.

Ok...first of all some people need to learn how to spell..second you can only use the code once so if you ask a person and they already used it that code is gone. Go to the website and get the code because it is random and there is always a different code.That is all.

Here's the deal with the Murloc Pet. No it does not do any attacks, but it DOES for a fact add 1 sec to spells. Trust me, I know. I have two of these cards from going to the convention. And another things is, I do not see how people "THINK" all the codes are different. There not. Both cards I have are the "SAME" codes. As I compared codes to others who were there, they too had the "SAME" code as I did. Well what do you know? "BOTH" codes work on "TWO" different toons of mine.Tisk tisk... You people need to chill out.It's just a game, not a real living world.

SHUT UP YOU F***ING N00BS IF YOU WANT A GOOD PET GET A MANA WYRMLING OR MAYBE A JUBLING I GOT A GUILDIE TO BUY ME THE ALES! OMFG ROTFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SPELL THE WORDS RIGHT!!!!

I wouldn't mind a pet murky but yeah its not worth my time to waste trying to get the code, for the murlock or the suit... I'll just spend my time in orgimar occasionally with the real (horde side) murky there gurgle noise is so cute xD.

Every one you can't even spell! i want it too but read a dictionary learn to spell get an education i'm 11 and i can spell better then all of you get a life or spend your valuable money to get one you bought the game why not a code! It's cute but buy it and don't take a shortcut you could do something way better than this

you all are probley really fat or really weak and can't do anything in life so you think your tough behind your computer yelling at people!!! all we want is the code and if you have it and don't want to give it to us don't bother bragging!!! because when you notice nobody cares that you have one and they just keep asking and then every body gets mad and starts yell the all these messages waste everybody's time bodys nobody wants to read about a frickin fight about a game!!!! and that fresh air thing (STUPID) nobody is going to listen to that CRAP!

My favorite thing about reading these comments is that there are about eight entries of people complaining that others who have posted here can't spell. When in fact, the person complaining that those people can't spell isn't spelling things correctly either. Thanks for a great chuckle.

ok for all those people who are tryin 2 stop others askin 4 the code SCREW YOU! sure i dnt hav the code but if sum1 gave it 2 me id be very happy (hint hint) i saw a couple og guys who had the murlocs as pets and they put on a show loads of people donated money just 2 see it again they got like 200g each per show it was amazing i want a damn murloc!!!

i cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg.

The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! if you can raed tihs forwrad it

wow people have gone mad over this im only 11 and same as the guy up top the murloc is neat and im searching for the code but wow some of you are freaking out about the thing like the codes do change every weak if u get a code amke sure that the guy got it this week or else it is usless ive got two of them and ive tried one of them and i didnt work and you dont see me freaking out so ill post the codes and you guys do have bad spelling

=_=" you all whine about living on a different SIDE of the country and trying these codes that have already been used and stuff... where I come from we're not even alowed to participate in contests WOW has because my country isn't... well I don't know.. BIG enoguh? :O Blizz just doesn't notice us I guess... moreover it would cost me a fortune which I don't have to go to Blizzcon =_=" ... I wanna have a murloc baby too but I'll just never have the chance to get it...

i wanted a muloc pet so i asked myself wy would i need a crummy pet that doesnt even attack and that the code for it changes every week thats why i think blitzzard is a stupid thing they created they should be like 100g or u could put the unreliable code in and get it for free. so thats my say thank you for reading

Interesting post. I like to play World of warcraft which is an interesting games. Have you heard about the Leveling guides which are more useful to move forward from one level to another which I use to review.
